Hi everyone,
It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. As challenge hostess for the month I am back with my final challenge for the month.
Saturday the 24th June was Fairy Day ... so for our challenge this week let's include a fairy or fairies on our card.
I recently spent three days demoing at our local Scrapbook and Papercrafts Expo here in Brisbane and of course you don't spend all that time at a show and not come home with anything right! A couple of my purchases at the show were a couple of fairies from Lavinia Stamps. My friends have been talking about these for about a year or so now and have a good collection, so I figured it was time I got a few too 😀.
For my card I decided to create a Centre Step Card using my Cheery Lynn Designs die set I have had for a few years, it makes creating this style of card super easy.
I die cut all the layers for the card in white, masked the moon on the centre panel and then used my Distress Oxide inks to create the background. I stamped a few pieces of scenery and added the fairy to the centre panel.
I also added some Moonlight Glitter Nuvo Drops randomly over the card to give it a fantasy feel.
On the bottom panel, I added the A Way with Words - Believe sentiment.
For the inside of the card I added the other fairy I purchased at the show and a sentiment.
